Our Forever 21 Fall Favorites On a Budget

Not only do we love Forever 21 for the John 3:16 inscription on the bottom of all their shopping bags, but they also have extremely affordable prices. At Top Buttons, we've done all the research for you and have narrowed down their fall selection into a compiled list of 11 items that are around $15 and under.

1. Shimmering Floral Bib Necklace

This necklace is on sale for just $2.99. Its gold shimmer is both glamorous and functional.

2. Coconut Body Lotion

This body lotion is on sale for just $1.99. Forever 21 sells a variety of scents that smell amazing and are incredibly hydrating.

3. Kitschy Rhinestoned Woven Bracelet

This bracelet reminds us of those knotted friendship bracelets we all made and exchanged as children, but just a little more glamorous! For just $1.99, this arm candy could be yours.

4. Faux Leather Moto Jacket

We recently did an exclusive post about those trendy moto jackets that have become popular this fall, and Forever 21 offers one for $12.60 that will keep you up to date with the current trends but spare your wallet.

5. Woven Fringe Scarf

Everyone needs a neutral scarf to keep warm and spice up a plain outfit. This scarf is $8.80 and comes in multiple colors. The fringe adds a nice edge.

7. Bun Donut

Want to accomplish a perfect bun? A bun donut will do the trick. Forever 21 offers a diverse array of sizes for $1.90, depending on your preference.

8. Burgundy Beanie

Burgundy is one of the prime colors of fall, and it is especially great for accessorizing with items like beanies, leggings, or scarves. This beanie can be purchased for $3.90 or 2 for $6.

9. Solid Knit Leggings

Why not get some burgundy leggings to match your beanie? Forever 21 sells these knit leggings for $3.80 in eight different colors. They're a very essential staple to pair with an oversized shirt or dress.

9. Pretty Tough Bangle Set

Want a little bit of edge to add to your outfit? Try this bangle set, which is only $1.99 right now. The stud and pearl combination is a contradiction of sweet and tough.

10. Classic V-Neck Sweater

Sweater or cardigan -- whatever you call it, at Top Buttons we think that you just can't have enough of them! They're a convenient way to both cover your shoulders and keep warm. This particular one is sold for $13.80 in three different colors.

11. Low Rise- Ankle Skinny Jeans

These may be the most affordable and flexible pair of jeans you could ever own. This pair is $7.90. (Alexis owns several pairs of these.)

For your convenience, we took a screenshot of what all these items would tally up to in your Shopping Bag on Forever 21, which is only $53.95. If you divide that by 11 items, that averages to less than $5 an item!

How To Wear Patterned Leggings

Patterned leggings are everywhere this season! They are a fun and colorful trend that are definitely worth trying. Here are some tips on how to style them.

1. Think of leggings as tights, not pants. If you want to rock patterned pants, there are a ton of options on the market to choose from. Leggings, however are meant to be worn under clothing.

2. Pair them with a long top that covers your backside. Chambray shirts, blazers, blouses and boyfriend sweaters are great options.

3. Pair them with solid colors. Mixing too many patterns can look busy.

4. Keep accessories to a minimum. Let your leggings be the focal point. Too many accessories can be overwhelming.

5. Leggings can be worn with a number of different types of shoes. Boots, flats, and heels all work.

Leggings come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Have fun and be creative when styling them. For more inspiration, check out our "All About Leggings" board on our Top Button's Pinterest account.

Happy Styling!
